I think this would be true mainly with firmware with a limited number of power levels. Say, 5 to 10. With 20 steps like the v 1.0 TSDZ2 OSF, the steps are so close together as is, that a strictly linear progression should not be all that bad. I could be wrong, but I don't think the 'non-intuitiveness' that a recent poster complained about has anything to do with the steps curve being made logarithmic. I don't think it is. But I don't really know all that much about it. Yet.LeftCoastNurd said:gain /should/ be on some sort of logarithmic scale, as you want small steps at the low end and bigger steps at the high end. too many naïve programmers implement linear gain steps (for instance 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%), if you do this with volume, brightness, or most any other power unit, you find the lower steps are too big, and the upper steps are too small.
